What i would like to know if i can use the first code at the beginning of this page: <pre> # Turn on Expires and set default to 0 ExpiresActive On ExpiresDefault A0 # Set up caching on media files for 1 year (forever?) ExpiresDefault A29030400 Header append Cache-Control "public"   # Set up caching on media files for 1 week ExpiresDefault A604800 </pre> ... with this other one: <pre> # 1 YEAR Header set Cache-Control "max-age=29030400, public"   # 1 WEEK Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800, public"   # 2 DAYS Header set Cache-Control "max-age=172800, proxy-revalidate"   # 1 MIN Header set Cache-Control "max-age=60, private, proxy-revalidate" </pre> Since i am not into these things it looks like if i use both of them my website is faster, but i would like an input from you to see if i am right or now. Also, i understand the second code i wrote in this comment but.. what is the difference between these two codes simply put? thanks and i hope to get a reply from you I find these code quite interesting and i have noticed a better performance in my blog already. What i would like to know if i can use the first code at the beginning of this page: 

# Turn on Expires and set default to 0
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault A0

# Set up caching on media files for 1 year (forever?)
ExpiresDefault A29030400
Header append Cache-Control "public"
 

# Set up caching on media files for 1 week
ExpiresDefault A604800

… with this other one:

# 1 YEAR
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=29030400, public"
 
# 1 WEEK
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800, public"
 
# 2 DAYS
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=172800, proxy-revalidate"
 
# 1 MIN
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=60, private, proxy-revalidate"

Since i am not into these things it looks like if i use both of them my website is faster, but i would like an input from you to see if i am right or now.

Also, i understand the second code i wrote in this comment but.. what is the difference between these two codes simply put? thanks and i hope to get a reply from you

Say I want to my .css files to be cached for 15 minutes, my .html files for another 30 minutes and no cache at all for my .php files. How can I do this easily ? I was wondering.
